520    A dramatic account of how 19th-century Quaker surgeon 
       Joseph Lister developed an antiseptic method that 
       indelibly changed medicine, describes the practices and 
       risks of early operating theaters as well as the belief 
       systems of Lister's contemporaries. 
520    "In The Butchering Art, the historian Lindsey Fitzharris 
       reveals the shocking world of nineteenth-century surgery 
       on the eve of profound transformation. She conjures up 
       early operating theaters--no place for the squeamish--and 
       surgeons, working before anesthesia, who were lauded for 
       their speed and brute strength. These medical pioneers 
       knew that the aftermath of surgery was often more 
       dangerous than their patients' afflictions, and they were 
       baffled by the persistent infections that kept mortality 
       rates stubbornly high. At a time when surgery couldn't 
       have been more hazardous, an unlikely figure stepped 
       forward: a young, melancholy Quaker surgeon named Joseph 
       Lister, who would solve the deadly riddle and change the 
       course of history. Fitzharris dramatically recounts 
       Lister's discoveries in gripping detail, culminating in 
       his audacious claim that germs were the source of all 
       infection--and could be countered by antiseptics. Focusing
       on the tumultuous period from 1850 to 1875, she introduces
       us to Lister and his contemporaries--some of them 
       brilliant, some outright criminal--and takes us through 
       the grimy medical schools and dreary hospitals where they 
       learned their art, the deadhouses where they studied 
       anatomy, and the graveyards they occasionally ransacked 
       for cadavers."--Publisher's description.
